Show HN: Play Pokémon to unlock your Wayland session

Heavy customization is important to me on the Linux desktop. This project has given me a lot more faith in Wayland than 5 years of hearing debates about it.

Incredible that we're getting something like this before a plain good old screensaver

Ah, goody. Looks like I found the only other Wayland user on HN. ;)

For a moment, I thought the punchline was that users needed to play through the game and clear the elite four to unlock their session.

That’s a really creative take on session locking. I can see it being both fun and surprisingly secure — anyone trying to unlock your machine would need to know the game and the exact sequence. Do you see this as more of a novelty project, or could it be adapted for practical use in real security setups?
